If you're anything like me, then sometimes you probably find it hard to keep going amid all the waiting and rejection. Follow Your Dreams No Matter What! can be a lovely sentiment, but when you're staring a the latest rejection letter, wishing your dreams included a little more instant gratification and a little less heartbreak, you might need something to pick you up now and then.
I'm feeling a tiny bit of that today, so I thought I'd compile a folder for if when I get The Call. It's nice to think about, but more than that, I think it's a good thing to consider ahead of time.
Basically, I figure that should an agent ever call out of the blue with great news for me, I will probably be too flustered and hysterical to think of everything I need to ask. With that in mind, I'm going to compile a list of questions and considerations ahead of time so I can just pop over to my laptop, open the file, and ask away without having to wrack my brain.
Of course, I don't know everything I need to ask anyway, even if I'm not flustered with the news of my dream come true. To that I say, hello, interwebs!
I turned to Google and found this great list on Rachelle Gardner's blog:
Questions to Ask a Potential Agent
And she actually included another link in that article, to this handy blog post about some other considerations you need to make before signing with an agent:
Before You Hire a Literary Agent
So think about it. If you are still waiting on your good news, maybe this is a good time to get prepared for what you'll say when it happens.
Happy writing, everyone!
